@peter Should Leopards of the Western Himalayas be put in their own category?
- They live in a totally different environment (coniferous forests), as opposed to the remainder of the subspecies.
- They are the apex predators in these ecosystems due to no Tiger populations in the Western environments
- They seem to be pretty big or robust due to top predator status as well as the colder environment
- There seems to be more human-animal conflict in these areas as compared to the other parts of India
- There seems to be more man-eating Leopards in the Western Himalayas. Some prominent examples include the Panar man-eater, and the man-eater of Rudraprayag.

@peter What I meant was that there needs to be a separate thread on Western Himalayan Leopards.
Can that be done here?

Same here.

Ask Lycaon to create the thread. You can do the lead post. In this post, a description of the region is needed. Add a map. Tell us why leopards in this region, as you stated, are different. In what respects are they different? Reasons? Photographs, videos, (skull) measurements and weights would be appreciated.
As to man-eating leopards. Why is it some of the most notorious man-eaters operated in that region? Focus on good information and add sources every time you post.
I'll do a few posts when I have time. Good luck.
